tion of participants to come to
Oregon had been approved and
six were ready to leave when the
Cambodian leader made his de
cision to renounce U S. aid. About
14 l.S. teachers had been select
ed to go to Cambodia for a two
year teaching term.
Fifty Cambodian participants
would have been sent to the- Uni
versity for specialized training
as future teachers The first
group of nine arrived in Eugene
Sept 11. Three have since re
turned to Cambodia, and another
is uncertain as to whether he will
remain at the U.O. The Cambo
dian Embassy has informed the
students the decision to stay or
return home is entirely up to
them.
